| 20110041140 | Event-Triggered Server-Side Macros - A computer-implemented method of managing computer macros is disclosed. The method includes storing code for a computer macro at an internet-accessible hosted computer system and associating the stored code with a user account on the hosted computer system. The method also includes automatically identifying with the hosted computer system, independent of whether a user associated with the user account is currently active on the hosted computer system, a triggering event that is defined as being directed to the macro. Furthermore, the method includes executing the macro using an application running on the hosted computer system to generate macro results, and storing the macro results on the hosted computer system. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110252303 | Rich Content in a Browser-Based Work Processor - A tangible computer-readable storage medium having encoded on it data that represents a model of a document, the document model including a one-dimensional character string that includes characters of the document in an order in which they appear in the document; a map of styles that includes markers that correspond to changes in styles in the document, and pointers to the character string, wherein the pointers define locations along the character string at which the changes in styles are to occur and define style runs between matched markers; and one or more external references to objects outside the document model, the external references including identifiers for the objects and pointers to the character string indicating where in the character string the object will appear. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110252304 | Rich Browser-Based Word Processor - A computer-implemented method for presenting a document for interaction with a user in a web browser includes accessing an electronic model of the document; determining, with a computing device, positions for items in a visual rendering of the electronic model based on relative sizes and positions of other items in the electronic model; and generating, with the computing device, a document object model (DOM) that defines an editing surface, wherein the DOM (a) places placing the items at the determined positions on the editing surface, (b) places a graphic element that represents a cursor at a determined location on the editing surface, and (c) is arranged to receive user input on the editing surface and to correlate a location of the received user input to a location in the electronic model. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110252312 | Real-Time Collaboration in a Hosted Word Processor - A computer-implemented method for coordinating documents between computer systems includes identifying, on a computing device, changes made by a user to a document having a model stored on the computing device, with corresponding models stored on a remote client and a server system; generating from the identified changes, one or more mutations that describe the changes and a one or more locations that correspond to positions in the model where the changes are to be provided; receiving one or more mutations from the server system and transforming the generated mutations using the received mutations; and updating the model stored on the computing device using the transformed mutations. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110252339 | Collaborative Cursors in a Hosted Word Processor - A computer-implemented collaborative editing method includes receiving input from a user of a browser-based document editing application on a document displayed by the application; identifying a current location in the document for a cursor of a first user executing the application; receiving from a central server system data that reflects changes made to the document by one or more users other than the first user and current positions in the document of cursors for the one or more other user; updating a document model stored on a computing device that is executing the browser-based application and rendering at least a portion of the model to the browser; and rendering the current positions of the cursors for the one or more other users to the browser. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20090265628 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING USER INTERFACE AND RECORDING MEDIUM USING THE SAME - A method and an apparatus for operating a user interface, and a recording medium using the same are provided. First, a plurality of user interfaces is provided and one of them is displayed on a touch screen of a portable electronic device. Then, the touch screen is used for detecting a touch signal. When the touch signal is moved toward a first direction, the currently displayed user interface is switched to another one. When the touch signal is moved toward a second direction, an item of the currently displayed user interface is switched to another item. Accordingly, a more intuitive and convenient manner for operating the user interface is provided for the user. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090265657 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING GRAPHIC MENU BAR AND RECORDING MEDIUM USING THE SAME - A method and an apparatus for operating a graphic menu bar and a recording medium using the same, suitable for a portable electronic device having a touch screen, are provided. First, a graphic menu bar is provided, which includes M graphic items arranged in sequence, where M is a positive integer. Next, the touch screen is divided into N display blocks along a coordinate axis direction for displaying N connected graphic items in graphic menu bar, where N is a positive integer smaller than M. When the touch screen detects a touch signal in display blocks and the touch signal is moved toward the coordinate axis direction for a first displacement, the graphic menu bar displayed on the touch screen is moved toward a direction opposite to the coordinate axis direction for a second displacement, and the second displacement is equal to the product of the first displacement and M/N. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090271702 | METHOD FOR SWITCHING USER INTERFACE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND RECORDING MEDIUM USING THE SAME - A user interface switching method, and an electronic device and a recording medium using the same are provided. First, a plurality of user interfaces are provided, and one of the user interfaces is displayed in a touch screen of the portable electronic device. A representative icon bar and a hot key bar are displayed in the touch screen, wherein the representative icon bar comprises representative icons respectively corresponding to the user interfaces and the hot key bar comprises one or more hot keys corresponding to the user interface currently displayed in the touch screen. When the touch screen detects a touch signal which falls within the representative icon bar and is moved therein, the representative icon bar is moved correspondingly, and the displayed user interface and hot keys are also switched according to the representative icon on which the touch signal is terminated. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090276702 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BROWSING ITEM INFORMATION AND RECORDING MEDIUM USING THE SAME - A method and an apparatus for browsing item information and a recording medium using the same are provided. In the present application, a user interface is displayed in a touch screen of a portable electronic device, and an item icon bar is displayed at one side of the user interface, in which the item icon bar comprises item icons of one or multiple items of the user interface. Meanwhile, first item information corresponding to a first item icon among the item icons is displayed in the user interface. Then, a touch signal is detected through the touch screen. When the touch signal falls within the first item icon, an item information block is extended and displayed from the first item icon, and second item information corresponding to the first item icon is displayed in the item information block. | 11-05-2009 |
